Thursday, June 6, 2013

Better be careful what you say and do, this ain't Russia, Syria, or China, It's the good ole boys in the USA who know what's best for you. Guess who has been recording all your phone calls and more. Remember the last time that you heard a mysterious click on your telephone. Perhaps you joked that it was just the government listening into your tapped phones.Guess what? It's true, the National Security Administration is secretly collecting phone
record information for all U.S. calls on the Verizon network.“Under the
terms of the blanket order, CLICK HERE TO READ COURT ORDER, the numbers of both parties on a call are
handed over, as is location data, call duration, unique identifiers, and
the time and duration of all calls,” reportsThe Guardian,
which broke the story today of the top-secret project after it obtained
records of a court order mandating Verizon hand over the information.Apparently the National Security Agency is currently collecting the telephone
records of millions of US customers of Verizon, one of America's largest
telecoms providers, under a top secret court order issued in April.

It is not known whether Verizon is the only
cell-phone provider to be targeted with such an order, although previous
reporting has suggested the NSA has collected cell records from all
major mobile networks.

I suspect it is not just Verizon and that all cell phone carriers are involved, as well as regular land line telephones, in addition to cell phones.

It has also been reported that all of our E-mails, text messages, regardless of being transmitted by computer or phone are recorded by the U.S. government, and/or given access to even private corporations such as the Recording Industry of America (RIAA).

The Guardian, a British newspaper, and the Washington Post
reported Thursday that U.S. intelligence agencies had access to the
central servers of nine of the country's biggest technology firms
including Microsoft, Apple, Google, Yahoo, Facebook and Skype.

The Post reported the
program called PRISM underwent "exponential growth" since its
founding in 2007. In fact, the newspaper said the program has become the
leading source of raw material for the National Security Agency, the
secretive U.S. intelligence operation that monitors electronic
communications.

Throughout PRISM’s seven-year existence, operatives at the NSA
and FBI have collected email, video and voice chat, videos,
photos, voice-over-IP (Skype) chats, file transfers and social
networking details, with the ostensible purpose of thwarting
terror attacks.

NSA, as part of this program
secretly authorized by President Bush on 4 October 2001, implemented a
bulk collection program of domestic telephone, Internet and email
records. A furor erupted in 2006 when USA Today reported that the NSA
had "been secretly collecting the phone call records of tens of millions
of Americans, using data provided by ATT, Verizon and Bell South"
and was "using the data to analyze calling patterns in an effort to
detect terrorist activity."

Until now, there has been no indication that
the Obama administration implemented a similar program.These
recent events reflect how profoundly the NSA's mission has transformed
from an agency exclusively devoted to foreign intelligence gathering,
into one that focuses increasingly on domestic communications, in other words spying on all of us.

Data covertly collected by the US National Security Agency (NSA) from
American telecom and Internet firms has also been shared with its British
counterpart, media reports revealed.Britain’s Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) has been
given information gathered in the US run PRISM system, which grants the American spy
agency a direct line to data stored on the servers of Google,
Facebook, Apple, Yahoo, Skype, and five other tech giants.

Documents revealed that the GCHQ has had
access to PRISM since at least June 2010, having generated 197
intelligence reports from it last year. Access to the information
has allowed the British electronic eavesdropping and security
agency to bypass the formal legal process required to obtain such
information from a non-UK-based company.
The concept of any semblance of privacy in the United States is a fantasy and the use of passwords, pin numbers, and security programs to protect our privacy, personal data is simply meaningless.All of this law breaking by the United States government has been taking place for many years and it should be no surprise that our freedom of privacy was taken from us secretly by Big Brother a long time ago.No-one told us but many of us knew it was happening in the name of "anti-terrorism needs", or some other "threat to America" defined by the government.I know that whatever political party is in power is irrelevant, they are all intoxicated with their power of doing whatever they want, whenever they want, to whoever they want, because they can.The current order apparently draws from a 2001 Bush-era provision in the
Patriot Act (50 USC section 1861). The revelation dovetails similar
exposes on massive government spying projects, including one project to combine federal data sets and look for patterns on anything which could be related to terrorism.

The contents of the call are supposedly not recorded and it is also not known
whether Verizon is the only cell-phone carrier complying with the
massive spying project. The court order concerns all calls to, from, and
within the United States.

With this so-called “metadata,” the government knows “the identity of
every person with whom an individual communicates electronically, how
long they spoke, and their location at the time of the communication,”
explains the Guardian.The Senate’s tech-savviest member, Ron Wyden (CrunchGov Grade) has been discretely warning citizens of these kinds of secretive
government projects. “There is now a significant gap between what most
Americans think the law allows and what the government secretly claims the law allows,” wrote Wyden and Senator Mark Udall to embattled Attorney Eric Holder.There are many actual harms that citizens should be worried about
from these types of big-data spying programs.Blackmailing citizens
critical of the government seemed like a distant hypothetical, until we
learned that the IRS was auditing Tea Party groups and journalists were
being wiretapped. Nefarious actors inside the government like to abuse
national security programs for political ends, and that should make us
all even more suspect of government spying.Some government secrecy is necessary for national security purposes.
But it’s justified based on our trust that the information will be used
with care. With every passing scandal, the justification for these types
of programs becomes more and more questionable.The order, a copy of which has been obtained by the Guardian, requires Verizon on an "ongoing, daily basis" to give the NSA information on all telephone calls in its systems, both within the US and between the US and other countries.The
document shows for the first time that under the Obama administration
the communication records of millions of US citizens are being collected
indiscriminately and in bulk, regardless of whether they are suspected
of any wrongdoing.The secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance
Court (Fisa) granted the order to the FBI on April 25, giving the
government unlimited authority to obtain the data for a specified
three-month period ending on July 19.Under the terms of the
blanket order, the numbers of both parties on a call are handed over, as
is location data, call duration, unique identifiers, and the time and
duration of all calls. The contents of the conversation itself are not
covered.Under the Bush administration, officials in security
agencies had disclosed to reporters the large-scale collection of call
records data by the NSA, but this is the first time significant and
top-secret documents have revealed the continuation of the practice on a
massive scale under President Obama.The unlimited nature of the
records being handed over to the NSA is extremely unusual. Fisa court
orders typically direct the production of records pertaining to a
specific named target who is suspected of being an agent of a terrorist
group or foreign state, or a finite set of individually named targets.The court order expressly bars Verizon from
disclosing to the public either the existence of the FBI's request for
its customers' records, or the court order itself.

"We decline comment," said Ed McFadden, a Washington-based Verizon spokesman. Can you hear me, yeah, that will really work to calm this fiasco down.The
order, signed by Judge Roger Vinson, compels Verizon to produce to the
NSA electronic copies of "all call detail records or 'telephony
metadata' created by Verizon for communications between the United States and abroad" or "wholly within the United States, including local telephone calls".The
order directs Verizon to "continue production on an ongoing daily basis
thereafter for the duration of this order". It specifies that the
records to be produced include "session identifying information", such
as "originating and terminating number", the duration of each call,
telephone calling card numbers, trunk identifiers, International Mobile
Subscriber Identity (IMSI) number, and "comprehensive communication
routing information".The information is classed as "metadata", or
transactional information, rather than communications, and so does not
require individual warrants to access. The document also specifies that
such "metadata" is not limited to the aforementioned items.A 2005 court
ruling judged that cell site location data – the nearest cell tower a
phone was connected to was also transactional data, and so could
potentially fall under the scope of the order.While the order
itself does not include either the contents of messages or the personal
information of the subscriber of any particular cell number, its
collection would allow the NSA to build easily a comprehensive picture
of who any individual contacted, how and when, and possibly from where,
retrospectively. Clearly there is now a significant gap between what most Americans think the law allows and what the government secretly claims the law allows.Privacy
advocates have long warned that allowing the government to collect and
store unlimited "metadata" is a highly invasive form of surveillance of
citizens' communications activities. Those records enable the government
to know the identity of every person with whom an individual
communicates electronically, how long they spoke, and their location at
the time of the communication.Such metadata is what the US
government has long attempted to obtain in order to discover an
individuals network of associations and communication patterns. The
request for the bulk collection of all Verizon domestic telephone
records indicates that the agency is continuing some version of the
data-mining program begun by the Bush administration in the immediate
aftermath of the 9/11 attack.

The Obama White House has responded by justifying its surveillance of
millions of Americans' phone records as anger grows over revelations
that a secret court order gives the National Security Agency blanket authority to collect call data from a major phone carrier.The Obama administration, while declining to comment on the specific order, said the practice was "a critical tool in protecting the nation from terrorist threats to the United States".Under
the Bush administration, officials in security agencies had disclosed
to reporters the large-scale collection of call records data by the NSA,
but this is the first time significant and top-secret documents have
revealed the continuation of the practice under President Obama.The
White House stressed that orders such as this one would only cover data about the calls rather than their
content. A senior Obama administration official said: "Information of the sort has been a critical tool in
protecting the nation from terrorist threats to the United States, as it
allows counter terrorism personnel to discover whether known or
suspected terrorists have been in contact with other persons who may be
engaged in terrorist activities, particularly people located inside the
United States.He continued that "as we have publicly stated before, all three
branches of government are involved in reviewing and authorizing
intelligence collection under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.

Congress passed that act and is regularly and fully briefed on how it
is used, and the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court authorises such
collection. There is a robust legal regime in place governing all
activities conducted pursuant to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance
Act."However, in 2013, such metadata can provide authorities with vast knowledge about a caller's identity.
Particularly when cross-checked against other public records, the
metadata can reveal someones name, address, driver's licence, credit
history, social security number and more.Government analysts would be
able to work out whether the relationship between two people was
ongoing, occasional or a one-off."From a civil liberties
perspective, the program could hardly be any more alarming. It's a
program in which some untold number of innocent people have been put
under the constant surveillance of government agents," said Jameel
Jaffer, American Civil Liberties Union deputy legal director.

"It is
beyond Orwellian, and it provides further evidence of the extent to
which basic democratic rights are being surrendered in secret to the
demands of unaccountable intelligence agencies."

The Obama administration again stressed that the court order only relates to call data, and does not allow the government to
listen in to anyone's calls.

We stopped living in a free democracy called the United States of America many years ago. No one bothered to tell us until now, that our freedoms were taken away from us, in secret, many years ago.

What we have is a bull shit propaganda machine that has for many, many years cloaked all of the stealing of our rights as citizens under the cloak of "protecting America".

Whether it was the "patriotic" needs of McCarthyism to protect us from the Communist menace, or the current anti-terrorist menace, you can be assured that the government cannot be trusted to self limit itself with the guidelines it professes to follow.

The chairman of the Senate intelligence committee, Dianne Feinstein,
said on Thursday she believed a court order compelling Verizon to hand
over call data relating to millions of Americans had been in place since
2006.

At an impromptu press conference on Capitol Hill, Feinstein said it was required to keep Americans safe. "This is called
protecting America," said Feinstein. "People want the homeland kept
safe."

Feinstein said she believed the order had been in place for
some time. She said: "As far as I know, this is the exact three-month
renewal of what has been the case for the past seven years.

This renewal
is carried out by the [foreign intelligence surveillance] court under
the business records section of the Patriot Act.

Therefore, it is
lawful. It has been briefed to Congress."

See how neatly and simple she makes something "legal" for those in power to deprive of us our freedoms, and to also make anything illegal at their whim. Always, they say it's done to protect us, America, now known as a "homeland".

Based on the way our current Federal administration and past
administrations, along with their associated Agencies have arrogantly in the past over reached by
grossly abusing the powers granted to them, I don't believe anything that the
government says, and neither should you.

A lot people read my Blog. I suppose they come for many different reasons and I can see they are from all over the world. There are good people who come here, victims, families of victims, people seeking justice, those who are fighting against injustice, people who care. There are also extremely evil people who visit here.

They are killers, murderers, sometimes the guilt ridden who are responsible by their actions or inaction's to resolve the injustices that are specifically detailed in many of my Blog posts.To me it's very personal when June 6th arrives every year, a very painful day. It has now been 55 agonizing years since my father Samuel Wolkoff was brutally tortured and murdered on June 6th, 1958.

HE WILL NEVER REST IN PEACE

It's that time of the year again. Another June 6th to mark the date of his execution by pure evil.

Today's Blog is in memory of Samuel Wolkoff, My FATHER, My DAD, tortured and murdered at 42 years of age.

He believed in honesty, family, kindness, hard work, ethics, and his
rights as a human being to reap the fruits of his labor for himself and
our family.

MY FATHER was a courageous HERO. A man who did not run away from the
corrupt animals who wanted a "cut of his business" for themselves. He
believed in himself and the law enforcement, legal, supposedly moral "systems" to
protect him from those that wanted the business that he had built from
nothing with his blood and sweat.
All of this because he believed in a code of personal ethics, morality,
integrity that dictated honor, respect, fairness, loyalty, faith in
humanity, and that no one is entitled to steal from another human being
their right to live.

On June 6th, 1958 the world was evil, corrupt, his life was cheap, and
scum bags took what they wanted, from who ever they wanted. That was the
day they took my father's life, his business, and the souls of my
family.

Today, June 6th, 2013, the world is infinitely more evil, corrupt, life
is cheaper, scum bags thrive as they take even more what they want, from who ever
they want.

There was no shame in 1958, no conscience on the part of the evil
that murdered my father. Ironically the murderers are still alive. They have all done extremely well financially
and life wise for themselves, their families. There
is no shame today in 2013 as we live in a world where corruption
reigns supreme in every part of life, the value of a human life is
treated as worthless, and money remains the god that is worshipped by
our society.

Yes, my father was a hero, he is a hero who sacrificed his life for his
beliefs. Seems old fashioned, naive, for someone to believe strongly
in doing the right thing. Yet somehow, he who had nothing, created a
thriving business, and maintained his righteousness of believing in
goodness, the legal system, and that goodness is to be rewarded.
In the end, he was dead wrong and paid for it with his life.

Dead heroes, no matter how courageous they are, are not recognized by society for their acts of courage. There
has and is a pervasive societal process that stinks like a toxic
cesspool, spreads as a deadly cancer which pays homage to those who are
corrupt, steal, and become powerfully rich with money. Those human
beings, who are good seem to be ignored, forgotten, and deemed fools
for believing in fairness, a code of respect.

Was
it worth it for MY FATHER, Samuel Wolkoff, to stand his ground and
give up his life in such a terrifying, grotesque manner at the hands of
cowardly pussy punks? Was
it worth the unimaginable pain that he felt as he was tortured slowly
for 5 hours? What must he have been thinking during those horrific
hours of going in and out of consciousness as they repeatedly tightened and loosened a rope around his neck?
Was it worth it, my hero, my dear beloved father? Was it worth it?

Samuel
Wolkoff's cause of death, 5 long hours of tortured Murder By
Strangulation. Try to hold your breath for as long as you can, then
wait 40 more seconds, exhale, that will give you a tiny sense of the
horrific way my father felt for 5 consecutive hours, a rope tied as a
noose, was continuously alternately tightened, then loosened around
his neck, while his hands were tied behind his back. Death, when it
finally came, must have been a merciful release for my father.

The
autopsy showed that my father struggled so bravely to live, that his
eyeballs eventually burst, and he finally stopped breathing. His body
then deposited at a desolate gas station, in the middle of the night,
thrown out onto the ground, as a piece of garbage. Hold that entire
scene in your mind forever, it is I can assure you gruesome, and
haunting in its profoundly graphic endless replay, over and over in my
mind.

Oh,
as an aside, his sister learned about his murder on the radio news,
she immediately dropped dead of a heart attack in front of her four
children.

The
family never talked about it for 40 plus years, not even to speak my
father's name, it is the taboo secret code followed by many families of
victims, as if somehow, the unbearable pain would get less. I have
spent most of my life investigating his case and eventually shared it
with our family. Never have figured out if I did good or bad by
reopening the wounds, but I do know, those are permanent gaping,
seeping, painful holes, they never really were ever closed.

I have been doing more thinking than usual lately, not necessarily a
good thing for me, as I yearn to be one of those who are able to
practice the art of ignorance is bliss.

How can a loved one who dies suffering, rest in peace, ever?

Seems like a
simple thing to believe, say, and its even reduced to a short
acronym, R.I.P., easy to write. I can't write it, not possible, not
after all the never ending suffering of my father, and us.

For an ultra private person like me, a blog is obscenely public,
personal, grossly revealing, definitely not my style, but
interestingly, momentarily cleansing, a way of coming out, being up
front with unbearable realities, my reality.

Mostly I do it for those
that can no longer speak for themselves, who experienced unimaginable suffering that ended their lives. In this particular moment, my father's reality.

Theseunprosecutedandofficiallyunsolvedmurders of human beingsthatnobodyin the corrupt, cowardly U.S. Justice system and Government hadcaredenoughtodoanythingaboutthem. To
this day, law enforcement has continued to cover up the real reasons
why nothing was ever been done to prosecute Konigsberg for these
murders.

Sounds strange, even weird, 55 years later why would so much energy and time be spent to make sure that I do not publish the truth of
all that really happened to my father.

My requests to do so, have resulted in threats made to me by
law enforcement officials and then complete arrogant indifference on
their part.They didn't prosecute him because of many reasons that only
"we" know as the ugly truths.

I am often intrigued as to why over 27,000 people as of this date have visited my Blog.

I see search terms on my blog from people who arrived
looking for information about my father, a lot of other interesting
search words that only "you" would know.

Some of you are the cowardly, but
powerfully dangerous scum bags who murdered my father, as well as
those of you in arrogant, incompetent, corrupt law enforcement, whose
agencies knowingly covered their asses, and in doing so, betrayed your
sworn oaths to defend justice, by participating in covering up the
truth, obstructing justice in this capital offense, which has no
statute of limitations.

We all know each other, or about
each other.

You know I have hidden away safely the written
confidential secret official documents with my honest law enforcement
and political friends, the written proof of all the detailed real,
truthful, embarrassing facts that you never want revealed.

Not to be concerned about, it will remain buried, as long as nothing else happens to my family, myself, and other loved ones.
We know the deal that protects all of us, that nothing
else will be done by any of us about my father's murder, the reasons
these documents will remain hidden, is the unspoken but very clear
mutual understanding we all have forever, of don't ever again fuck
with any of us in my family, and in return, we won't fuck with any of you by making
the real truth public.

Justice
not served, justice not given, nothing complicated, nothing new, an
innocent, good person, a human life has always been cheap. I did the
best I could to obtain that justice. My father's error that cost him
his life? He believed in trust, in the sense of obligation to very
close members of his family, by giving them a chance to change their
ways. The good deed he did, paid back by these very same, who had him
murdered. Horrifically ugly, but brutally true, and they all got away
with it, didn't bother any of them, never mattered to them.

The
March continues, May/June are the saddest months for me, I dread this
time of the year, horrifically gruesome memories of human, innocent
lives of my family wasted.

The rest of the year, the ever present Demons make sure
we remember those, whose memories others have tried to erase, these are
my family, they were human beings who will never be forgotten, they
lived and never deserved to die in such horribly suffering ways.

Today we remember my courageous father. He is not resting in peace, and he never will rest in peace, that is certain.
